During my research of the trip I couldn’t find much about Genoa. Turns out that’s for a reason. You have to go far, far away to see a lot of things. Not to worry, join the hop-on-off bus (which picks you up right outside the port) and you’ll enjoy a gorgeous city.

| Exiting the cruise terminal to catch the bus |
 |
| First stop this beautiful city square |
 |
| If you’re off the ship early there are great photo taking opportunities |
 |
| The bomb that didn’t explode when it came through the church in WW2 |
Just before getting back to the port is this hidden building. Something drew me in and I’m so glad I made the visit. This is the 1520 Santissima Annunziata del Vastato.
 |
| The church was badly damaged in 1942 |
 |
| Thankfully it has been (mostly) restored to it’s original glory |
 |
| Artists are still in the process of painting the rebuilt roof |
 |
| You cannot visit Genoa and forget to east the food |
 |
| It’s all outstanding and has flavors unlike the US |
Quick day. Back to the ship for tomorrow’s port.
